A 15 year-old boy kieran obazee was shot and stabbed on Friday Nov. 22 at his east London home by gang members in what police believe may have been a case of mistaken identity.

The boy survived the attack. However, he is currently in a hospital in a very bad condition.

As it was gathered, five men wearing balaclavas and armed with kives and a gun forced their way into the home in Plaistow just before 3am on Friday.

Further a 23-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.

It is believed by the detectives that the boy was mistakenly taken for a member of a gang.

This morning a Scotland Yard spokesperson said:

"The person who may have been involved in a gang was staying at the address and they may have been the target, but the boy who was attacked had no criminal background."

Estate terrified residents in Plaistow told how they rushed to the injured boy's aid after his shocked mum ran door to door screaming for help.

One of the neighbours said:"There was no sound of screeching tyres so they must have run or cycled off after attacking him.

According to him, as he entered, there was a lot of blood on the carpet and on the wall. The boy was bleeding all over.

"His mum and sister had wrapped his leg up to stop the bleeding, the people trying to help him were panicking so I took over.

"I kept him talking, he was going into shock and was really confused.

"He was bleeding a lot from his lower right calf and his sister was begging the paramedics to come quicker over the phone. Paramedics arrived at the scene before taking the teenager, the son of a biochemist, to hospital."
